Ungeniused 006 - Roller Coasters
This week, Myke and I discuss roller coasters, which I don’t ride to an issue with … well … puking.

Ambitious iOS Apps
I’ve been interested recently in the apps available for iOS that push the very edges of what we thought was possible on a mobile device. Informed by my recent experience of spending a week on iOS alone, I decided to try and express what I mean by “ambitious” and to collect some examples of those kind of apps.
